Wellllllllll…I’ve been ‘interviewed’ twice by the secret service. Fun trivia.
First time when I was in high school and in the printing class, made some prints of cash and was found out. School made a big deal, SS & the cops didn’t. Got in house suspension and some restrictions in the class but eventually ended up designing and printing the ‘funny money’ used in the senior trip ‘casino’. I love the irony.
Second time I was in the military and was passing through then Yugoslavia, which was still part of the Soviet Union, and we wrecked our car. Extended stay, court, a 200$ fine (some millions in local currency) and flew back to my base in England, which was a ‘spy base’, so had a lot of clandestine operations…and they didn’t look fondly on someone going through a communist country without prior authorization…but then they determined it was as they suspected: I was (and probably still am) an utter dumbass.

I know someone that interviewed for the NSA. They take their background checks seriously. The person I know had agents knocking on the doors of their neighbors that they never met from houses that they moved out of years ago to see if the neighbors had anything negative to say about them.
